[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

That deifies her.

Can she cite anything in the Catechism of the Catholic Church as evidence that Catholics worship Mary?

We may have to wait a while.

[CynicalBear]

Oh that’s funny right there. The questions were not what is in the catechism. It was “what do Catholics do”. Calling Mary the conqueror of evil and death is deification as those are only attributes of God.

When Catholics and the Catholic church stop attributing to her the attributes of God, then they might get somewhere in convincing people they don't worship her.

Until then, actions speak louder than words.

From the Catechism of the Catholic church....

969 “This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation .... Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix.”510

Names of God from the Bible. Compare them to the names given to Mary in the above prayer.

Jesus

Hope (our) - 1 Timothy 1:1

Counselor - Isaiah 9:6

Advocate - 1 John 2:1

Mediator - 1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 9:15, Hebrews 12:24

Holy Spirit

Comforter - John 14:26

Helper – John 14:16

This is worship of Mary if ever there was.....Attributing to her the attributes of God is idolatry.
